Burak A. Bal

Based in Istanbul, I am a visual artist grounded in cinema, currently focusing on photographic arts. After spending three years as a post-production supervisor in the advertising industry, I refocused my practice entirely on photography in mid-2025. My work centers heavily on the reality of the theater stage, capturing what I describe as "photographs with a purpose" images driven by a deep, underlying narrative. My theatrical portfolio includes collaborations with the plays Finito, Yallah, Kış Kış, Love You, and Küçük Balkon. Most recently, I shot the poster photography for the 2026 production of Uzun Mesafe Koşucusunun Yalnızlığı.
